Catania manager Rolando Maran was not even alive the last time his club claimed a home win over AC Milan in the top-flight.

Maran was born on July 14, 1963, just two months after Catania had pulled off victory against a Milan team which would go on to win the European Cup three days later.

Led by the prolific Jose Altafini, Milan went on to defeat a Benfica side which had won the trophy in each of the previous two years and claim the title as the first Italian team to have won the competition.

What a contrast to that of a few days earlier when Catania pulled off a famous victory, courtesy of a goal from Bruno Petroni -- a player on loan from AC's famous rivals, Internazionale.

Back to the future

Fast forward to the present day and Maran was hoping his side could reverse their awful record against the Rossoneri.
